Rayman Pirate-Community

Hm, in that case, < will need some time to start, so go ahead you guys and start without <.

< has to go mow the lawn now.

That's <'s only problem with having such new hardware. Now that ^ mentions that, <'s computer has a PS/2 port funny enough that < could have used to fix it

Oh well at least it's fixed now

< has posted an actual question for the first time in the M&U thread. < doesn't know how people who look at it will react though

< can't believe that Windows 7 needs a PS/2 mouse and keyboard. Seems Windows really was stuck in the stone age until very recently. As Microsoft is (finally!) modernizing the OS it's inevitable that they'll break old unmaintained games (which by their nature talk more directly to the hardware than other programs). < doesn't actually blame Microsoft that Rayman 2 is broken, < blames the tradition of binary-only games that break after a generation or two, at which point the only people with access to the source code have moved on to newer things. < would go so far as to consider Windows 10 a good OS if it weren't for the phone-home anti-features.

In other news, < received the second-hand motherboard from Germany yesterday and installed it this afternoon. Finally <'s CPU isn't overheating when loaded!

< doesn't hate Win10 either, < doesn't actually mind, even though it still has its errors and not just gaming-wuse. < guess it's not for all people.

< has finally determined that the sound channel in <'s VBA 1.8.0 disappears in <'s R1 GBC Rom when < has Rayman duck. Very mysterious indeed....

OOh, learning to touch type, eh? Good luck ^!
< remembers when < learned, at 8-9 years old and then improving as < continued. < still can't seem to get any higher than 87-88 WPM, however. < needs to practice some more...

< will start off the The Rayman 2 Challenge while other contestants are occupied elsewhere.

< is about to post 2000 messages.

Yeah, don't worry about < ^ and ^^. When < is ready, < will make the challenge also.

< is probably stuck with it or at least 8.1 since <'s PC seems to be just too new

< is wondering about thay keylogging stuff Windows 10 supposedly is as < has heard about that so many times in the past and again just recently.

With the weird sound channel dropping out? Probably < says. As < said before it doesn't affect gameplay much at all.
When < was doing <'s Rayman Advance videos, < noticed that the intro would be missing sound channels too, and this instance also occured when < saved a game.

< will have to check that later for ^ after < picks <'s computer up and puts it through the triple glazed window then goes to the shed to get a sledgehammer and finish it off

< is off to a great start with the challenge.

< says good luck to ^ and Birds

< suddenly have idea for another fangame, not the <, ^ and Steo fangame but another fangame (not a Rayman one).

Let < guess, a Spongebob one?

Well, under "Privacy Settings" it's impossible to turn telemetry completely off, except on the Enterprise edition. WireShark has shown that this telemetry involves sending encrypted data back to Microsoft every 5 minutes on some unsecured port. Because it's encrypted there's no real way of knowing what exactly is being sent. There are hacks and workarounds to thwart it, but one needs to change strategy for that every few updates it seems.

^ read in < mind. But, < might thinking of doing way more than a Spongebob games.

Maybe < shouldn't be concerned about it but < just thought it was a bit odd.
